Maybe even extract everything with --beta to TEXMFBETA folder so that maintaining beta and stable in parallel is seamless.
I like that. But how do you deal with the format files (made by texexec --make)? texexec puts them in ~/.texmf-config or ~/.texmf-var (first element of TEXFORMATS from texmf.cnf). So the beta and the stable formats will fight with each other. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
